First Memories

First Memories

I am listening to the fight and I am so scared.
I don't understand, I love you both,
How can you hate each other like this?
I see the gun, but I don't understand what it means,
I don't know what to do
I love you both, no one more than the other,
Don't you understand?
I need some peace,
You won't let me have it,
The officers have to come and make peace,
If only for a little while.
Her glasses are broken and we're both crying,
I don't understand, what just happened?
Why is it like this? Is it like this for everyone?
How did the door get broken?
When did that hole appear in the wall?
Why did you break my things?
Glares and hateful words are all I know,
And I still don't understand.
I don't know what you're saying,
It's so loud and so fast, it's all a blur.
I don't know what you're doing,
All I know is we're leaving.
You scared away friend after friend,
Time after time we've left.
We came back each time.
So are we coming or are we going?
